1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

CRISPR-Cas technology has revolutionized genome editing. Its broad and fast-growing application in biomedical research and therapeutics has led to increased demand for guide RNAs. The synthesis of chemically modified single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) containing >100 nucleotides remains a bottleneck. Here we report the development of a tetrazine ligation method for the preparation of sgRNAs. A tetrazine moiety on the 3'-end of the crRNA and a norbornene moiety on the 5'-end of the tracrRNA enable successful ligation between crRNA and tracrRNA to form sgRNA under mild conditions. Tetrazine-ligated sgRNAs allow efficient genome editing of reporter and endogenous loci in human cells. High-efficiency editing requires structural optimization of the linker.
